SANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 8, 2007 -- Cenzic, Inc. today announced that K2
Network, a leader in the online game market, has standardized on Cenzic's
ClickToSecure® managed service
offering to assess the vulnerability of its web-based gaming applications
and to ensure optimal security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). K2 Network's decision to
work with Cenzic further builds on Cenzic's momentum as a leader in
delivering flexible, on-demand testing solutions for critical web-based
applications.

K2 Network is a leading player in the MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online
Role Playing Games) market and is the company behind two of the most
popular MMORPGs, "Knight Online World" and "Global Mu Online," with more
than 3 and 2 million registered users, respectively. K2 Network supports a
global online gaming community with all of the necessary elements to
support millions of players, including billing, customer support, game
management, and transaction systems for purchasing new items used by
players during the course of the game. MMORPGs effectively serve as
e-commerce systems serving hardcore gamers who can spend thousands of
dollars a year on game-related micro-transactions to acquire weapons and
other tools for improving their playing experience.

The complexity, size and transaction volumes associated with MMORPGs make
security a critical component for ensuring a positive experience for
gamers. K2 Network therefore sought a solution to help automate and manage
the testing of its applications without incurring the unmanageable costs
tied to additional resources. After an extensive evaluation of available
options, which included manual penetration testing and scanning-based
solutions, K2 Network selected Cenzic's ClickToSecure, which leverages
Cenzic's flagship Hailstorm family of products and couples industry-leading
technology with security expertise. K2 put Cenzic to the test by asking
them to assess an application that had already been tested manually. Within
a few hours, Cenzic found all of the
vulnerabilities that had previously taken weeks to discover manually.
More importantly, it did so on-demand, requiring no new investments in
technology or information security staffing to complete. The information
was delivered to K2 in a professional report with all the details of
vulnerability information and remediation tips making it easy for them to
fix the problems quickly and efficiently.

The company has now standardized on ClickToSecure and is using it to test
all of its key transaction-based applications. Moving forward the company
also plans to make ClickToSecure a core part of the company's development
process prior to rolling out games into production.

"Cenzic plays an important role in
helping us to securely distribute content globally," said David Lee, vice
president of infrastructure and engineering for K2 Network. "While
traditional measures of security are about protecting the network, Cenzic
provides a proactive approach that minimizes risk and in effect serves as
an extended team of security experts that finds vulnerabilities at the
application layer before they become a problem. Our global gaming economies
are extremely complex, with millions of dollars flowing through them. We
need to have the same class of security as a financial institution and it
needs to be available on-demand. Cenzic gives us this capability and has
become a core part of our information security infrastructure."

Cenzic's ClickToSecure SaaS is
designed to help security teams validate the security of their web
environment, offering K2 Network and similar organizations the ability to
flexibly test applications at their convenience. In presenting its
state-of-the-art software solution as an outsourced, managed service,
Cenzic overcomes the challenges created by the open and inherently insecure
nature of the web as a business platform by bringing together their leading
automated assessment technology and application security expertise to
provide highly accurate and cost-effective analysis for web applications.
ClickToSecure enables customers to minimize the risk of running critical
business applications via the web by addressing emerging application
threats and minimizing the business impact of application security
initiatives.
